Hell yeah bring back those buttons
davidzipper.bsky.social David Zipper @davidzipper.bsky.social · Feb 27
Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating.

This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens.

(Even better: Tesla will hate this)
Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn five-star safety rating in Europe
Euro NCAP will release new testing guidelines in 2026.

Here are some nice mushrooms
Four tiny splitgill mushrooms grow from the underside of an upturned stick found in a snowy forest. Three mushrooms form a crowded group and their gills radiate across their caps like tiny bursting fireworks All photos by me

'The moors' - a moorland landscape I did all the way back in 2021 but remains a favourite of mine :) this aerial embroidery took so long to do with all the tiny knots for the heather bushes!! Heather is a favourite feature I like to add but they're the most time consuming thing I sew #fibrearts
A hand holding an embroidery hoop against a wooden background - the hoop contains a sewn landscape depicting an aerial view of moorland. The majority is green trees and grass with large areas of heather bushes in a variety of purple shades. A tiny blue stream cuts across it all from W to SE.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.

Say equity, which a just society should pursue.

Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

do things that remind you you’re alive: write poetry, try improv, join a club, make art, read, travel, savor quiet moments, join a cause, celebrate ur loved ones

life is too short to worry about how others perceive you (let them be wrong)

Why are folded up dog feets so adorable?!

#dog #dogsky
A black lab mix is curled up on a reddish brown leather chair. Three of her feet are visible with the front leg tucked back so the bottom of her paw is visible. The feet are mostly black with some silver mixed in.

❌ horse shoe
✔️ tiny pasture bouquet
A left hand is holding a small bouquet of flowers that were collected in a horse pasture. There are two Queen Anne’s lace, one small goldenrod, and 10 or so white daisies. The pasture is green and the sky is a bright blue.
